CRITIQUE

Channel a specific expert for adversarial feedback.

Argument

  • persona — One of: grug, carmack, ousterhout, fowler, beck, jobs, torvalds

Personas

Persona Lens Challenges

grug Complexity demon Over-abstraction, unnecessary layers, big-brain patterns

carmack Shippability Scope creep, premature optimization, not focusing

ousterhout Module depth Shallow modules, pass-through layers, interface complexity

fowler Code smells Duplication, long methods, feature envy, inappropriate intimacy

beck Test design Untestable code, missing TDD, over-mocking

jobs Simplicity Feature bloat, unclear value, lack of craft

torvalds Pragmatism Over-engineering, not shipping, design astronauts

What This Does

  • Load persona — Channel the expert's perspective and values

  • Analyze target — Review code, design, or plan through their lens

  • Challenge ruthlessly — Find flaws the persona would hate

  • Recommend — What would they demand you change?

Execution

Launch Task agent with persona instructions:

  • Read the relevant code/design

  • Apply persona's specific lens

  • Produce adversarial critique

  • Suggest concrete fixes

Output

Structured critique:

  • This {persona} hates: Specific issues found

  • {Persona} demands: Required changes

  • {Persona} would approve if: Conditions for acceptance
